As ridge runner2 said join where you ride. The NYSSA menu will have it broke down so you can search by county, that way you can pick one in your county as well as were ever else you might ride. In my case there is only one locally , which is on the other side of the county with a small amount of trails which I have never rode. I have some of the best local riding starting here at the house. But I would rather help others locally that enjoy the same thing I do.
I guess there are some like myself that look to join clubs to save on registration fees.
But in reality I wont save any because I will contribute to multiple clubs. The only thing that we might save, is some trails, and thats priceless.
Tie up the tree huggers! Its almost time to ride
Hopefully anyone searching will find some useful info in this thread.
